So I'm going to the expo on Saturday, though my Resi Alice costume hasn't arrived (so basically no cosplay) but at least I've done a competition entry this time. Hope I get a mention, though I know I won't win with something that basic.

Also getting to the point that I'm going to need to make a portfolio for applying to arty courses. If anyone has any advice/guidance, I really need it! I haven't got any sketchbooks from schoolwork so it's all going to be my rather samey manganess. And some image manipulation too I guess.

In the meantime, here's some stuff to do:

- Make sample commissions to put up around college (because I'm a self promoting whore of course)
- Make some new character designs and finish a piece on my Fable 2 character.
- Anything that might come in useful for my portfolio interviews.
- Christmas card design ideas

And now for some more Ucas crap

Just came back from Worthing, was cool and relaxing. Oh and for those of you who don't know, I'm entering a competition held by the Japanese Embassy for the UK - draw 6-8 pages of manga with reference to the "sun" for 25 September. Third place gets camera, second place gets laptop, first place gets 2 return tickets to Japan. So here's a list for myself so I know what I have left to do:

DONE
- Dialogue/Script
- Page layout for 1,2,5,7.
- Poster design for part of the first page.
- Brooks Sisters, The Vampiress and The Mermaid Queen costume design.
- A few drawings for pg. 1 and 2.

TO DO
- Page layout for 3,4,6.
- Costume design for Elaida the Seer.
- and obviously the drawings themselves...

Right, better get to it I guess. Wish me luck^^

- Sophie's Amelie drawing (Mostly inked)
- Tomomi Sensei's birthday drawing... anyone got any ideas? Ideally something traditionally Japanese.
- ~El-Crabio's birthday drawing. Anything he wants I suppose, though right now I think I'm only comfortable drawing women. So let me know. No Jessica Alba.

Going to be doing some life drawing over the summer, but I don't suppose I'll upload them here unless my model(s) are OK with it.

1- ~tom564: Sophie birthday drawing. Might just give up and make him a doubly nice one for his next one, or something (his next one is closer to now than his last one is..)
2- ~ReddWillow: House of Flying Daggers birthday drawing.
3- Dooplis: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni birthday drawing.
4- ~pumpkinbomb: Birthday drawing. Don't know whether this will actually be a drawing or proper present, just thought it might be good to write it down.

Additionally:

5- ~El-Crabio 2nd of March drawing.. pretty sure he expected this so it's no secret.
6- Design shared party invitations.
7- Work on Digital Imaging CD artwork.

Wow, lots of birthdays... and things.
